hank213 1,823 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 i think they are playing with fire having a different director for each episode. i hope season 2 doesn't turn into just another crime series. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Easy negative nancy. The same writer for all 8 should prevent that. Dude has a vision. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,354 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Meh, directors don't mean as much on TV shows, it's the Show runner that has the creative vision. Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, they all had different directors. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 an interesting thing that I read about True Detective. It's the same Director for all the episodes so that gives him a lot more freedom since he doesn't have to worry about fitting in with what other Directors have done before or will be doing in the future. Somebody directing an episode of Breaking Bad or Sopranos couldn't put "their" stamp on things since they have to fit with the rest of the series. To me True Detective is more like an 8 hour movie and not an episodic TV show. i tended to agree with bob's take. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Bob did say that. Now I'm leaning toward hank on this one. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 man the expectations are going to be so big. i can already feel the backlash from the haters when the show is different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 love it Regarding the gender question: did the criticism you received about “underwriting” women characters affect your approach to Season 2? I think it affected me a little bit in my conception of Season 2, but then not at all. I realized I was listening to things I didn’t agree with and taking cues from the wrong places. I just put it out of my mind. What do you mean by “taking cues from the wrong places?” I mean that writing towards what I consider an insubstantial criticism isn’t a good way to create.

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 This was the best show ever. I've seen it twice, and the second time flew by just as fast. The car scene in the first episode, I think, hooked me immediately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,354 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I loved this show from episode one, but that long tracking shot is what knocked it into the stratosphere for me. Never seen anything close to that on TV before. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I loved this show from episode one, but that long tracking shot is what knocked it into the stratosphere for me. Never seen anything close to that on TV before. That shot was absolutely epic. The only show I've seen that's done anything even close to that is The West Wing, which I don't think you've watched and I don't know if you'd like. Anyway, they never did one as amazing as the one on True Detective, but they used lengthy complicated shots multiple times per episode, and it really added to the busy and exciting atmosphere of the show. There's one I remember where the camera eventually ends up on a crane which was pretty stunning but I can't seem to find it on youtube, but these are some good examples.

brvheart 1,757 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That was part of the forum upgrade. Along with no more animated gifs for avatars, reducing the post per page to 20, and removing video embedding, this upgrade was the BEST EVER! Link to post Share on other sites
